2. DIVISIVE
“Americans have deeply divided feeling about Hillary Clinton, threatening a Democratic victory in 2008 and ensuring four years of the bitter political battles that have plagued Washington for the last two decades and stymied progress.”

- STILL TRUE
4. NO REFORMER
“Clinton has never embraced reforms and opposed many that would truly change the system and scale back the power of special interests and lobbyists,” the memo says.
